Welcome to the ACLP page for Interprofessional Team resources!
In line with the ACLP’s educational mission, the Interprofessional Education (IPE) Subcommittee has prepared resources to support caregivers who work on interprofessional teams. Our target audience includes:
- Team leaders
- Team members
- Those interested in learning about team functioning and the roles of other professions
- Both outpatient and inpatient providers
- Diverse professions including but not limited to psychiatrists, advanced practice providers (APPs), psychologists, and social workers
Of note, the IPE Subcommittee will be creating separate webpages targeted APPs in consultation-liaison psychiatry (CLP) and hospitalists seeking to bolster their psychiatry knowledge.
